🔋 Exciting Insights from last week's Advanced Battery Power Conference There have been 2 days full of battery innovation and research at Münster with many talks, interesting speeches and high attendance numbers (>1,100). We FEV Europe GmbH had a stand at the booth and were able to hold many interesting discussions thanks to Bernd Hömberg, Prof. Martin Winter and Dirk Uwe Sauer. Here are my key findings: 📌 The most important prerequisites for EU competitiveness in the battery sector are low energy costs and industry funding. Current support from public authorities needs to be improved. In particular, EU research has made some gains in the development of solid-state battery cells, but CN consortia of cell suppliers will follow quickly 📌 Future cell formats will be mainly prismatic and cylindrical parallel, pouch with lower share 📌 Cell chemistry is evolving: LFP is further gaining traction; sodium-ion is becoming more interesting and NMC remains the choice for high energy applications. Interestingly, Solid-State technologies not have been in main focus beside the interest of the Chinese Suppliers forming a consortia… 📌 Main safety issues of last years due to thermal runaway / propagation are under control at system level, energy density vs. fast charging under discussion and cost reduction expected 📌 2nd life applications will be a niche; recycling and reprocessing will play an important role at the end of a battery product's life as customers in all sectors expect best performance 📌 Recycling is complex and not yet standardized, overcapacity is expected in the EU, but with little know-how; we can assume that the cost of battery cells will have to be increased in the future due to recycling, which will affect the attractiveness of the technologies; with the greatest negative impact on LFP, as the recycling of LFP is complex and the recycled raw materials are of low value 📌 the European gigafactories are starting operations, but initially see themselves as (fast) followers of the established suppliers => Battery production remains a challenge 📌 CO2 footprint of Li-Ion batteries is decreasing further to already <30kg CO2 / kWh with using renewable energy     Further I had the honor to lead a session for "battery application" together with Jörg Huslage with four interesting presentations 1️⃣ "Premium Platform Electric (PPE): development of superior charging performance" by Bernhard Rieger 2️⃣ "Battery-in-the cloud for modelbased adaptive control strategies" by Dr. Gerald Rämisch 3️⃣ "Safety Requirements of Stationary Energy Storage Systems for the North American Market" by Juergen Boeck 4️⃣ "Application Driven Differences in Design and Operation of Large-Scale Batteries" by Susanne Lehner 🙏 Thanks to all participants, speakers and organizers for the great event! #Battery #cell #fev

Earlier this month, our team participated in the AVL Tech Day Battery event, where we explored cutting-edge developments in battery testing efficiency. With global competition heating up—especially with China leading the charge—it’s more critical than ever for European players to optimize testing in order to stay competitive. ⚡🌍 Our Partner, Dr. Oliver Spreitzer, gave a keynote speech on "Optimizing Efficiency in Battery Testing". "Even though battery electric vehicles have been slashed by European car buyers recently, the strong technology and sales dynamics in China force European players to continue investing in new electrified vehicles. Battery innovations will play a central role in reaching competitiveness which puts battery testing - being one of the main bottlenecks regarding time-to-market - into a crucial role for future success. Hence, smart ways to increase battery testing efficiency through digitalization, AI, and standardized test procedures will be a major success factor." 🔋 Addressing the challenges in battery testing is a critical piece in the ongoing evolution of sustainable mobility. #Efficiency here will drive time-to-market, ensuring future success in this dynamic field. 🔍📊 What strategies do you see emerging in #batterytesting, and how is your organization preparing for these challenges?

First of all, we increased efficiency further still with an improved #electromagnetic design. One particular highlight is that we managed to expand the sweet spot significantly. In this context, I want to mention the cooperation with our JV partner LG Magna, who contributed several improvements here. We also implemented several improvements at the system level, such as improved #cooling and reduced ohmic and inductive scattering losses. I’d like to give three more innovations a special mention: active fluid control, which uses a pump actuator to distribute cooling flows flexibly between the motor shaft and the winding heads; HV module embedding, which enables us to design a highly integrated #semiconductor package that’s integrated into the inverter; and software-optimized pulse patterns, which further reduce #electric #motor and inverter losses. ➡ Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/eVWKgDeP #cti_sym #CTI_Symposium #futuremobility #emobility #EV Sylvia Zenzinger Sabine Fischer Şenel Çelik
